Scholastic.com Interview with Bonnie Wright and Tom Felton

Scholastic.com has a new interview online today with Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) and Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy.) In this interview they discuss a variety of topics including their thoughts on Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, scenes from the books they wish had been filmed and the final Harry Potter novel. Quotes of interest:

Q: Are you both happy about the way your parts got more important in the last book?

Bonnie: Yeah I definitely was happy where
J.K. Rowling took the character of Ginny. I think if we were all told
at the first film where our characters would end up, I don’t think any
of us would have imagined. It’s just really enjoyable and sort of
unnerving at the beginning when you do read the last book.

Tom: Seriously. When that came out I was like, I’m not
going to read it. I’m going to wait for the script. I don’t want to be
reading bits in the book and thinking I can’t wait to do that and then
find out it’s not going to be featured. And that lasted about an hour,
and within it being released in a day I read the whole thing!

Q: Is there any particular scene from any of the books that you wish you could have filmed but wasn’t filmed?

Tom: They cut out actually very little. There was a thing
in the second film where Jason [Lucius Malfoy] and I did a scene at
Borgin and Burkes and it was the first time that it was father and son
together. And that answered a lot to me why Draco is like that.
Unfortunately it was never featured in the film. It was on the DVD as a
deleted scene, so I got to watch it, which was cool. But no, everything
else we’ve shot. Especially on these last two [films]. Everything ”
when I read the book I thought, “I can’t wait to shoot that.” It’s all
there, so we’re very excited

Q: How would you describe J.K. Rowling?
Bonnie: I always find it so surreal meeting her. This whole world literally is because of one person.

Tom: She’s a very unassuming down-to-earth lady,
the most lovely lady. I was always taken away by how genuine she
seemed, and how unaffected by the fact that she’s probably the world’s
biggest author.
